SAAL Nexus is an event series at Kanuti Gildi SAAL, where each event centers around questions and topics that pop up in the cultural field. On October 20, we will focus on research and curiosity as a practice. Three artists, Urmas Lüüs, Elle Viies, and Maike Lond, will open up the archaeology of their creative processes by exploring the topics they have delved into throughout their various creative projects.

We often see the part of an artist’s work that makes its way into a finished piece, while the discoveries and research methods that shape the practice remain in the rehearsal room or in notebooks. This time, SAAL Nexus will take the form of a hangout – a space to get to know one another’s thoughts, delve into things together and get into discussions, ask questions, and look at slides. We will look at killed darlings as well as various loose threads, the connections that lead from one thing to another.

The Latin word nexus refers to a series of connections or a focal point, so each SAAL Nexus event focuses on a different entanglement of questions or a knot in the arts field. Everyone is welcome to SAAL Nexus – to listen, participate, co-think or just hang out! This grid has an endless number of connection points to map out at further events.
